EMSec - Real-time services for maritime safety
Overview
Background & policy context:
More than two-thirds of the world's total cargo is transported across the world's oceans. In addition, thanks to constantly growing offshore wind parks, energy supply is to be ensured without fossil fuels in future. The industries around the world use the potential of the oceans however they are threatened by pirates and terrorists. In addition to the risk of criminal acts, accidents and storms also threaten maritime safety.
Objectives:
It is first and foremost the task of federal and state authorities and agencies to counter the risks in the maritime field. Detailed information is needed to assess the current (emergency) situation and to react accordingly.
It is the objective of the EMSec project to provide information from different sources, e.g. satellite and airplanes, in a combined tool for the end users (authorities). The tool should allow a fast and flexible representation of the combined information.
Methodology:
In order to achieve a result which is applicable in reality, there are a lot of partners from the industry and federal authorities involved in the project.
